What to expect

A seat saved for you

Come as you are. Nobody will single you out, and nobody will ask you for anything.

Preaching straight from the King James Bible, verse by verse.

Hymns sung together, with a piano and whoever else is willing to play.

Communion at the table that reads “This do in remembrance.”

An independent Baptist church, with no denominational headquarters and no outside authority.

Our pastor

Pastor Jim Buckley

Pastor Jim Buckley and his wife, Rita Sue, came to Port Sanilac in March 2022, when the church had been shut for two years. They led the renovation that brought the congregation back into the building that May.

His goal is to give the Gospel of Jesus Christ to everyone in town, so that as many people as possible are saved and come to the knowledge of the truth. He preaches from the King James Bible, streams every service, and has taken the preaching out into the village, including street preaching at the Port Sanilac Fourth of July parade.

The quickest way to reach him is by email.
